Cor leonis by Attila Lukacs (Attila)

If you're new to bit-tech's Mod of the Year competition then you may not have heard of Attila before but if you've seen it in the last few years then this Australian modder needs no introduction. Attila's attention to detail and portfolio of skills are formidable and his nominated projects in 2009 and 2010 were quite simply works of art.

Cor leonis is Attila's first water-cooled scratchbuild and while it took a little longer to complete, missing out on the action last year, the project is one of many making this year of the best we've seen for years as far as skill and originality go. We're also betting you won't be able to tear yourself away from these images for at least ten minutes.
